"roasted" poems
He stood fifty times his height, his palms pressed against the glass separating him from the road in their glamour; blurred images of car in their splendor – and there isn’t the familiar scent of coffee – I call this pandemonium. Nothing beats a day in a café redolent of the finest Arabica, he’d inhale deeply and recall : unroasted gives the sweetest scents of blueberries – roasted’s entirely different: fruit, sugar, perfume – They call this addiction. Mnemonic – a wind chime lost in the array of winds. “You used to be my cup of tea – I drink coffee now.” These words slip out of his dry lips, and a lone tear trickles down a milky cheek; They all say if they’ve got love, they don’t need money – And he’d say if he’s got coffee, he doesn’t need love – He calls this heaven.

1 Backwater nymph, queen of serpentine black tresses flaunting its coconut oil gleam; envy of  leggy girls from the Western ghat mountains, and lissome  maidens from the plains, who can never eat as much fish, even if they wish. Wearing hibiscus flowers, on coiffure like hood of a king cobra, your coral lips  silently speak of hot peppery kisses, waiting for me at shaded corners. Your sultry body in me arouses desires, that could only be whispered in your ears. 2 On a coconut lagoon when we met, for the first time and spoke, non stop, as if we knew each other life long, I heard music in your words. Oh! in the tongue you spoke, I heard the cadence of a nightingale ecstatic, on its wings above the clouds, love had prompted us to fly above the storms. Your  gleaming coal black eyes, like silver hooks, tug at my heart strings, that makes music, only I can hear, you are a free flying lark, above Kerala's lush coconut coast, that extends from sea shore to the mountains. 3 **When we relished steaming brown rice, mixed with clarified butter, with spicy tuna curry, tasting so dainty, cooked in bubbling sweet coconut milk, my eyes like two crazy butterflies circled your face, a blossomed Champak*. Mashed cassava and roasted squid, melted on our tongues, in a perfect culinary language any one would understand without effort. 4 Your lips had cinnamon scent, spice land's boons, when we kissed we touched heaven of scents and spicy tastes. When our eyes fell on each other, near the ancient synagogue, the hay days of which is over, a long jasmine garland coiling your hair,     marked you different, from the  the ladies of your neighborhood,                                           surrounding you. How well you did pretend that you have never seen my face before! You have mastered love's cunning, and all the wily tricks to cheat the enemies of our fiery love my Freudian mind perfectly understood. Just imagine the brouhaha we would invite, when we elope, in the last boat, to Alappuzha, stealthily at midnight.*

A love song for my Cochin* girl

Little Birds are dining Warily and well, Hid in mossy cell: Hid, I say, by waiters Gorgeous in their gaiters - I've a Tale to tell. Little Birds are feeding Justices with jam, Rich in frizzled ham: Rich, I say, in oysters Haunting shady cloisters - That is what I am. Little Birds are teaching Tigresses to smile, Innocent of guile: Smile, I say, not smirkle - Mouth a semicircle, That's the proper style! Little Birds are sleeping All among the pins, Where the loser wins: Where, I say, he sneezes When and how he pleases - So the Tale begins. Little Birds are writing Interesting books, To be read by cooks: Read, I say, not roasted - Letterpress, when toasted, Loses its good looks. Little Birds are playing Bagpipes on the shore, Where the tourists snore: "Thanks!" they cry. "'Tis thrilling! Take, oh take this shilling! Let us have no more!" Little Birds are bathing Crocodiles in cream, Like a happy dream: Like, but not so lasting - Crocodiles, when fasting, Are not all they seem! Little Birds are choking Baronets with bun, Taught to fire a gun: Taught, I say, to splinter Salmon in the winter - Merely for the fun. Little Birds are hiding Crimes in carpet-bags, Blessed by happy stags: Blessed, I say, though beaten - Since our friends are eaten When the memory flags. Little Birds are tasting Gratitude and gold, Pale with sudden cold: Pale, I say, and wrinkled - When the bells have tinkled, And the Tale is told.

I got a ruby secret I keep it in my pocket Only Zulu knows about it So I put him in a prison He thinks he's getting out soon But he doesn't have a clue He's just a little rodent But he thinks he's a Raven! He's in love with a prophet So now he's on a conquest But I planned his execution He doesn't know know about it He's always getting roasted Thinks he's a stallion He's really just a rodent But he knows my little secret I tried to sew his mouth shut But he had an objection! Thinks he's the president Shh.. "He's really just a rodent" I gave him a promotion... So now he is my magician He just keeps on escaping He's drunk again, talking **** Hey Zulu! Where are you running to? Everybody is looking for you!

Zulu’s Apprentice
Oh Coffee Machine! My Coffee Machine! You've finally finished my drink! For every morning you brew me one -I place my mug in the kitchen sink, Every drop of your goodness; topped with whip cream; finished just in time, The things you make, lattes, coffee, are absolutely divine, Just as I was about to fill and pour the once empty mug, almost as empty as i'm feeling; there's still that leftover bit of hope, But wait, Can it be? My old trustee machine? It mustn't be the end of my coffee machine peering near, It can't be the end of my morning routine, For all I hear are crashes; unfamiliar to my ear. My Coffee Machine! Dear Coffee Machine, The hiss of steamed milk, cream and roasted coffee beans, The wisps of steam lingering in the air as you make my coffee, Dripping ever so slowly in my cup -Coffee that's dark, bitter and black as night, Early in the morning before breakfast; before I take a bite, This half-full cup of coffee won't do me good for the day, Without you I think that the morning skies themselves will be grey, But wait, My dear coffee machine! I keep pressing the button clear It can't be the end of my morning routine, For all I hear are crashes; unfamiliar to my ear. Waking up with no cup of coffee, ask not what the future may bring, Without the energy, I don't know whether sorrow shall reign or happiness ring, Everyday I now wake to breathe deeply the aroma of life's bel-fry, For if I ever smell the subtle hint of coffee in the air, I let out a sigh. Oh Coffee Machine! Dear Coffee Machine, You've been here for so many years, It can't be the end of my morning routine, For all I hear are crashes; unfamiliar to my ear.

Like a captive, I capture rapture wrapping around stakes that matter Joan of Arc battered Also tattered but, easily dismissive Refracted from fractured prominent phrases people play with Distinctly persuasive and evasive, dressed boyishly attractive, lax stature, dawning armor crafted by absence as if asked about it- I’m drifted Protection is principle prerequisite, when fire is lit I sort of implore your aorta before it’s incinerated to ashes Dethatched as a habit, with swords or hatchets crafted to singe heartstrings that attached it While I slash slick Rick as a quick fix, To fend for pretend pretenses or presumed tricks, I can’t quit Cause I hit lips against hash spliffs fashioned with dashes of passion all while rationing fireball cinnamon sips Martyr to avoidance I gaze at fabled dazed gossipers galvanizing grips on gritty grapevines while licking warning labels through smoke haze on blurred lines Capably unstable Other eyes attending scandal circles able to shout lies and rekindle handed arguments on tables with locked smiles stay boxed in Avidly amiable Searching for counterparts when combusted or branded Toying with matches loses meaning when rules reseed Those vagabonds claim love is some all end hard bent to mend what the same above can’t comprehend. Breaking boredom, I pillage pillows with night terrors And ardent arsonists yearn for flames that churn, turn, liquefy and learn learned thoughts and smoldered feelings Completely complacent Melting in one another they are completing each other like two candles tryst true at a wedding day However later the blaze is severed, smoke sears, and charred black wick stands alone for them. Aggressive and progressive. As for me never pleading, fire forever fleets to streets between iron bars I built that cage in deep heat and seep dire dreams once desired Suppose I’m a skeptic Roasted or disconnected Just jaded, just met you Always over it too soon Burnt but I’m amused.

I moved a few years ago To the upper state of Vermont Although the place is beautiful At times it can be one great big yawn That's when we put our heads together Me and my best friend Shawn And came up with the great idea To start a Hippie Farm Our noggins were a knocking Not sure how this could be done Do Hippies come from packs of seeds Or like flowers, in a bunch And can you start them off by grafting Like they do on Apple Farms Where you get rows and rows of Hippies From just a single one That's when Shawn remembered this mail order magazine That we took out and took a look inside It came with an assortment of Hippies From Raw to Roasted to Highly Deep Fried So we sat and weighed all of our options And ordered a bushel of Hippies alive Then we set out cultivating the fields Till the day our Hippies arrived The package  arrived a few days later In an old beat up VW Bus With psychedelic smoke pouring from the windows Pretty sure they all came buzzed Of course Hippies don't come with instructions Only bell bottom jeans and old Jefferson Airplane tapes Can't tell you how many Hippies we went through Before we learned from our mistakes Like don't plant a Hippie face first in the dirt They need a bit of air to breath And they don't like to be over watered Just dust them off when you feel the need Now that the farm is up and running We seem to have come into our own We've even come up with  a way of branding Some of the Hippies that we've grown We started selling them in flavors Like Ben and Jerry's down the street From our Abbie Hoffman Radical Cherry To our Hendrix Hazy Purple Berry Treat But it's our Groovy Rainbow Roundup Hippie Whose sales have never let us down In fact I'd put that Hippie up against Anybody else's Hippie in town I've never been much of one to brag But we're known on the East coast, up and down We've had people as far away as Florida Come and buy our Hippies by the pound So next time your up in Vermont Stop in and take a tour and watch us grow Don't forget to stop by our gift shop And purchase your very own Hippie to take home

ABC Poem (Fruit and Vegetables)
Happy Valentines Day If Venus child Come loves melody sing I shall break the bow And slash the string If he dare to infect me Trick my heart into desire Seasoned on a spit he will be Roasted in a blazing fire Conniving Whisper sweet nothings in my ear Tear off his wings Turn my eyes from his tears Not by the all the gods decree Will I commit my love to another Binding his mischievous hands Return him swiftly to his mother My warnings are clear Unheeded Towards me he point the arrow His last sweet breath This cherub shall inhale Never more see the morrow This poem is copyrighted and stored in author base.  All material subject to Copyright Infringement laws Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.

Thousands of miles away Human beings are being gassed to death And photographs of mourning families Are published by the hour And even though The world acknowledges Syria's current condition Very few have seen the pictures Blood and tears and unfathomable terror Ignorance at its finest America at its finest Why cant we be a nation of proactivity rather than reactivity Why does it take so much For people to realize That genocide is occurring And that lives are being torn apart As we sit calmly at our dinner tables Abundant with pea soup And roasted chicken And lack of caring

......was a freezing morning. no rooster woke me....i opened my eyes at first light of dawn, sipped hot coffee....my thoughts, recalling....traveling, with the swirling steam... turkey wasn't done yet, but, hours before, table was already set... while awaiting guests, I leant on the counter...my head, to rest, i looked outside the small window and was greeted by a full moon, aglow... there was so much food on the table...weariness was healed by laughter...conversations touched on weather, politics, food...they refused to end, glasses sparkled with bubbly wine....sliced meat was arranged on a big tray...baked sweet potato with caramel smelled, tasted good...broccoli rave was green and spicy...i didn't know potato salad could taste good without meat!....coffee and pies came next.....the dogs, communicated with their eyes and paws...socializing, too, like their masters, i saw what was left, after slicing the plump roasted fowl...a skeleton, still with thick strands of meat, and the  palatable stuffing made with onions and prunes. dishes were washed, kitchen was back in order, after showering....everyone rushed to their beds, yet, i had to peep out the window, one last time... the full moon, still was upon us...confirming its presence....a long time witness to the moments we celebrate........encouraging our moods, our thoughts.....our hearts.......even when it's not a thanksgiving night..

The Day After...
Remember curiosity, The reek of home, Sleeping with a Mouthful of fevers. Remember gold, Roasted muscles, The shackles in your thighs. Remember me, When you discovered Hearts of past lovers Live in your fingernails. Remember you, A mad-driven star, Biting waves with such Honeydew eyes. Remember patience, Threaded into your skin with Pear tree splinters. Remember: Even God knows limits.

In a Somerville coffeeshop, waiting for his single origin light roasted Pour over, Frankenstein reads a philosophy magezine, seductively planted by the lounging area. "One lives two lives." The magezine reads,   "That which one spends in their physical body, and that which begins the moment one leaves that body, lasting until all witness to ones first life has spoken its final word". The baristas eyes widen when he sees Frankenstein, The barista says nothing. He knows better than to raise the dead. Frankenstein is often confused for his monster. Condensation rises between crocheted mittens, Frankenstein Lingers on the Cherry notes in his Coffee, while it combs icicles into his snow white mustache. He likes this new version of an afterlife. It empowers him to take advantage of the time he has now, to make his second life last as long as possible. He's in the middle of this thought When his face slams against ***** snowbank. Dog **** mixing into the icicles of his moustache. A familiar mob of torches and pitchforks only see the monster. They take turns kicking. Kicking Frankenstein wakes to a lynching. When he lives He is not a monster.

Do not Raise the dead
For once, I'm at a loss for words I can't write eloquence into our anniversary yesterday Because it was magical in and of itself You planned me a quiet picnic in the woods, just you and me Cooking hot dogs on a charcoal grill we didn't know how to use And eating chicken salad Going kayaking was a dream, paddling along On a quiet tributary to a bigger lake, we went back into the woods We sat in our little floating craft and talked about first kisses and magic We wondered at how simple acts could have led us apart and how happy we are together I noticed the calmness of the water and the intricacies of the ripples when I indulged my paddle into the stream We were out for an hour, just paddling along Talking, living, laughing, loving together. Just being together We eventually made our way back in, an hour car ride away from home Talking some more, laughing together, enjoying the company We went back to my place and ate dinner with my family Shrimp Scampi with salad and bread Then roasted marshmallows and laughed when they became torches Nothing is better than marshmallows with the people you love After that we set up my hammock and just swung there and watched the sun slip below the horizon Taking in the scenery, we didn't need to talk, because there was nothing more that could have been said It was magical until my little brother came over to us and asked why we weren't talking and called us boring But he doesn't understand, not quite yet Not until he is sitting on a hammock with a girl, and knows there isn't anything to say It was a beautiful day, wonderful by itself

My skin has been itching for three months I’m not sure why this is addicting I’ve crashed a car in my head 3 times today My mental awareness consistently letting go of the wheel The Anterior teeth of my mouth have started to yellow in disapproval I’m not sure why this is satisfying I’ve been taking toxic psychotropics in light doses more than twice a day It’s warmth is comforting as the jittering and hyperactivity become null Bags have formed under my eyes If you were to open them, their roasted smell would overpower you with stimulation Constantly on my toes for risk of Insomnia and Narcolepsy I’m not sure why this is outstanding Adrenaline is being forcefully factored into my body If this is the bullet, I’m biting it after an appliance pulls the trigger As the high passes, it ripples through my mind An otherwise calm sea, tidal waves pound the shores of my subconsciousness Vacuum sealed can are filled with awareness Sleep has become a rare odyssey Warm comforters are replaced with long trachea trips of boiling beans I’m not sure why this is alarming Double trips become tripled and troubling to my mother Arguments over the hours I shall harvest from the night are increasingly frequent Slow to roll out of bed in the morning I don’t hit my carpet, I splash into sugared preparedness In my backpack hides a cup full of GI Joes I’m not sure why this is troubling If anything, I’m drinking a medicine that prevents death by 10-15% for 13 years The New England Journal of Medicine was happy to acknowledge my existence Till they announce anything different, you’ll find me taking a mud bath I’m not sure why this is disgusting Tell me everything that’s wrong with it Because from where I’m standing There is nothing wrong with Coffee

She said "I think, I'd be coffee." I had asked her: if your personality was a beverage, what beverage would it be? I reply, "No. You wouldn't be coffee. I wake up to a cup of coffee every morning. If you're going to be coffee you need to have somehing else to you. Be sweet and cheap with tons of sugar if you have too. Or more preferably, be locally roasted with high notes and low notes. Or be dark, bold and roasty. You can taste like anything! bing cherry, citrus, earthy, chocolate. You can't just say coffee. Coffee deserves so much more explanation than that. I had coffee brandy once. I woke up to her every morning and I got drunk off of her. If I ever stopped drinking water i'd throw her all up and feel sick. but I would never drink water. Every morning After I drank her I'd walk down the hall and find a sippy cup full of milk. Even she was not just milk. She was strawberry milk. She was coffee milk. She was my little coffee milk. You are not coffee. I had coffee before and it's gone. You are water. I don't wake up to you every morning. I don't need you to get through my day, yet. But run you through my filter enough times. Soak up all my grounds. Maybe one day, You can be my coffee.

Coffee ☕
The campfire burned low, embers roasted their glow off your pretty face as we snuggled beneath the splashed milk holding hands, we wished to stay there forever. And somewhere, an owl gave his report as firefly ash swirled upward to the starlit sky with our dreams attached.
